There’s even been exchanges between Bethesda’s customer services shared, with one giving a particularly blunt response to a fan query, claiming: ‘The bag shown in the media was a prototype and was too expensive to make.

Bethesda have now issued statements on the escalating issue on Twitter, writing: ‘Unfortunately due to unavailability of materials, we had to switch to a nylon carrying case in the Fallout 76: Power Armor edition.

‘We hope this doesn’t prevent anyone from enjoying what we feel is one of our best collector’s editions.’

In another statement, Bethesda apologised over the incident and offered 500 Atoms of Fallout’s in-game money as compensation.

They added: ‘We understand and respect that there is disappointment with the bag in the Power Armor Edition. We are sorry.

We understand and respect that there is disappointment with the bag in the Power Armor Edition. We are sorry. Please contact Bethesda Support to provide proof of your CE purchase. They will assist in granting your account 500 Atoms.
